Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl Monopole 2024
Trade Tools
France / Alsace
Clos Windsbuhl is one of the beautiful terroirs in the magnificent commune of Hunawihr. It enjoys a late climate, perched high and close to the Vosges forest. This late character, combined with the Muschelkalk limestone (shell limestone), is the source of the structure and exceptional delicacy of the wines produced from this vineyard.

2024 vintage
Harvest Note
The 2024 vintage will certainly be remembered as an unusual one which defied climate change. Rainfall was 30% to 50% above average and extremely high temperatures were largely avoided. Well-drained soils were key to achieving consistent fermentations.
Tasting Note
The nose is typical of this terroir: still reserved but full of promise! It reveals subtle smoky aromas with hints of pine honey, toast, and herbs. The finish is tense and structured with a noble bitterness.
